(1)For 2012 and 2011, the effects on the denominator and numerator of potential dilutive shares
generate anti
dilution; therefore, there is no change between the reported basic and diluted loss per share.
Consolidated net sales in the third quarter of 2012 decreased to US$3,899 million, representing a
decline of 2% compared with the third quarter of 2011, or an
increase of 2% on a like to like basis
for the ongoing operations and for foreign exchange fluctuations. The
like to like increase in
consolidated net sales was due to higher prices in local currency
terms in most of our regions partially
mitigated by lower volumes in Northern Europe and the Mediterranean
operations.
Cost of sales as a percentage of net sales decreased by 1.1pp
during the third quarter of 2012
compared to the same period last year. The decrease was mainly
the result of savings
from our cost reduction initiatives and lower fuel costs.
Selling, general and administrative (SG&A) expenses as a percentage
of net sales decreased by
1.8pp during the third quarter of 2012 compared with the same
period last year, from 22.0% to 20.2%.
The decrease in SG&A expenses during the quarter was mainly due
to savings from our cost reduction initiatives.
Operating EBITDA increased by 9% to US$730 million during the third
quarter of 2012 compared
with the same period last year. The increase was mainly due to
higher contributions from Mexico,
U.S., and the South, Central America and the Caribbean, and Asia
regions, as well as our cost
reduction initiatives. On a like to
like basis for the ongoing operations and adjusting for foreign
exchange fluctuations, operating EBITDA increased by 13% in the third
quarter of 2012 compared
with the same period last year. Operating EBITDA margin increased
by 1.8pp from 16.9% in the
third quarter of 2011 to 18.7% this quarter, mainly as a
result of savings from our cost reduction
initiatives, as well as higher prices in local currency terms in
most of our regions, partially
mitigated by lower volumes in Northern Europe and the Mediterranean
operations.
Other expenses, net, for the quarter were US$168 million, which
included mainly a provision related
to the implementation phase of the outsourcing agreement for back
office services as well as impairments of fixed assets.
Gain (loss) on financial instruments for the quarter was a gain
of US$19 million, resulting mainly
from our equity derivatives related to CEMEX shares.
Controlling interest net income (loss) was a loss of US$203 million
in the third quarter of 2012,
versus a loss of US$730 million in the same quarter of 2011.
The smaller quarterly loss is primarily
due to a higher operating income, a lower foreign exchange loss
and a gain on financial instruments
versus a loss in the third quarter of 2011; all of them
partially mitigated by an increase in other expenses, net.
Total debt plus perpetual notes increased by US$14 million during
the quarter.

Our Mexican operations’ domestic gray cement volumes increased by 4% during the quarter versus the same
period last year, while ready
mix volumes remained flat during the same period. During the first nine months of the year, domestic gray cement volumes increased by
1% while ready mix volumes declined by 4% versus the comparable period a year ago.
During the quarter, bulk cement and ready mix volumes were affected by lower than
expected infrastructure activity in cement
intensive projects and a weak formal residential sector. The decline in volumes in the formal residential s
ctor reflects the continued working capital financing constra
nts faced by homebuilders. Favorable performance from the infor
mal residential and industrial and
commercial sectors mitigated declines in these sectors.

Domestic gray cement, ready mix and aggregates volumes for CEMEX’s operations in the
United States increased by 8%, 13% and 14%, respectively, during
the third quarter of 2012 versus the same period last yea
r. During the first nine months of the year and on a year over

for the ongoing operations, ready mix and aggregates volumes increased by 16% and 10%, respectively,
during the first nine months of the year versus the comparable
period in 2011. Sales volumes for the
quarter reflect an improved demand in most of our markets and
regions. Activity from the residential
sector continues its positive trend. The industrial and
commercial sector also shows a strong
performance driven by the manufacturing, lo
dging, office and commercial segments.

Our domestic gray cement volumes in the Northern Europe region
decreased by 11% during
the third quarter of 2012 and decreased by 13% during the
first nine months of the year versus the same periods in 2011.
In the United Kingdom, during the quarter and on a year over
year basis, volumes for domestic gray cement, ready
mix and aggregates decreased by 5%, 10% and 10%, respectively. For the first nine months
of the year our domestic gray cement volumes, ready
mix and aggregates declined by 9%, 14% and 13%, respectively, versus the comparable period in the previous year.
The deteriorating macroeconomic conditions have impacted the construction
sector in the country. The year over
year decrease in volumes in the quarter reflects continued adverse weather conditions as well as some slowdown due to the celebration of
the Olympics.
In our operations in France, domestic ready
mix volumes decreased by 3% and our aggregates volumes declined by 2% during the third quarter of 2012 versus the comparable period
last year. During the first nine months of the year, ready
mix volumes decreased by 4% and our aggregates volumes declined by 5%, on a year over
year basis. The economic slowdown and adverse weather conditions during the months of July and August affected the construction activity for
the quarter. Difficulty to obtain credit for household and the elimination of tax incentives caused a decline in the residential sector. The
infrastructure sector continues to be supported by ongoing projects.
In Germany, our domestic gray cement volumes decreased by 10%
during the third quarter and decreased by 13% during the first nine months of the year versus the comparable periods in 2011. The
residential sector continued to be the main driver of demand. Adverse weather conditions during the first quarter and overall bottlenecks in
the construction industry have affected construction work and increased the backlog of projects.
Domestic gray cement volumes for our operations in Poland declined by 10% during the quarter and by
12% during the first nine months of the year versus the comparable periods in 2011. During the quarter, within a context of tight
fiscal consolidation, infrastructure spending declined particularly from a very high consumption base in 2011, as road and sports
infrastructure projects built in anticipation to the EURO 2012 championship came to an end.

Our domestic gray cement volumes in the Mediterranean region decreased
by 20% during the third quarter and decreased by 20% during the first nine months of the year versus the same periods in
2011.
Domestic gray cement volumes for our operations in Spain decreased
by 41% and our ready mix volumes declined by 45% on a year over
year basis during the quarter. For the first nine months of the year, domestic gray cement volumes decreased by 42%, while ready
mix volumes declined by 46% compared with the same period in 2011. The decrease in volumes for building materials during the quarter
reflects the continued weak demand from all segments. Economic uncertainty, limited credit availability and high inventories continue to affect the
performance of the residential sector. Continued focus of the government on fiscal austerity keeps infrastructure spending at very low levels.
In Egypt, our domestic gray cement volumes decreased by 10% during
the third quarter of 2012 and decreased by 10% during the first nine months of the year versus the comparable periods in 2011. The
main driver of demand continues to be the informal residential sector. Infrastructure spending is minimal.

Domestic gray cement volumes for our operations in Colombia remained
flat during the third quarter and increased by 6% during the first nine months of the year on a year over
year basis. Our quarterly cement volumes reflect two fewer business days versus third quarter 2011 as well as increased cement pre
ordering in anticipation to the July price increase. The industrial and
commercial sector continued with its positive trend, especially in the construction of hotels, and shopping centers. Infrastructure projects at the
local level have been limited as new governors and mayors have recently taken office in different entities. Government projects at the
federal level continue.

residential sector. In addition, the industrial and commercial sector also exhibited growth during the quarter.

EQUITY
RELATED AND DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS INFORMATION
Equity related information
One CEMEX ADS represents ten CEMEX CPOs. The following amounts are
expressed in CPO terms.
Beginning of quarter CPO
equivalent units outstanding 10,880,317,265
Stock based compensation 36,892,479
End of quarter CPO equivalent units outstanding 10,917,209,744
Outstanding units equal total CPOs issued by CEMEX less CPOs held
in subsidiaries. CEMEX has outstanding mandatory convertible notes which, upon conversion, will increase the number of CPOs outstanding by
approximately 194 million, subject to antidilution adjustments.
Employee long term compensation plans
As of September 30, 2012, executives had outstanding options on a
total of 11,992,356 CPOs, with a weighted average strike
price of approximately US$1.40 per CPO (equivalent to US$13.99 per
ADS). Starting in 2005, CEMEX began offering
executives a restricted stock
ownership program. As of September 30, 2012, our executives held 31,613,700 restricted CPOs,
representing 0.3% of our total CPOs outstanding as of such date.
Derivative instruments
The following table shows the notional amount for each type of
derivative instrument and the aggregate fair market value for all
of CEMEX’s derivative instruments as of the last day of each
quarter presented.

Estimated aggregate fair market value (1) (2) (4) (5) (57) 2 (11)
In millions of US dollars.
The estimated aggregate fair market value represents the approximate settlement result as of the valuation
date, based upon
quoted market prices and estimated settlement costs, which fluctuate
over time. Fair market values and notional amounts do not
represent amounts of cash currently exchanged between the parties; cash
amounts will be determined upon termination of the contrac
ts considering the notional amounts and quoted market prices as
well as other derivative items as of the settlement date. Fair market
values should not be viewed in isolation, but rather in relation to the fair market values of the
underlying hedge transactions and the
overall reduction in CEMEX’s exposure to the risks being
hedged.
Note: Under IFRS, companies are required to recognize all derivative
financial instruments on the balance sheet as assets or liabilities, at their
estimated fair market value, with changes in such fair market values recorded in the income statement,
except when transactions are entered into
for cash flow
hedging purposes, in which case changes in the fair market value of the related derivative instruments are recognized temporarily in
equity and then reclassified into earnings as the inverse effects
of the underlying hedged items flow through the income statement. As of September 30, 2012,
in connection with the fair market value recognition of its derivatives portfolio, CEMEX recognized increases
in its assets and
liabilities resulting in a net a liability of US$3 million,
including a liability of US$232 million corresponding to an equity embedded derivative related to our convertible notes, which according to our
debt agreements, is presented net of the assets associated with the derivative instruments. The notional amounts of derivatives substantially match
the amounts of underlying assets, liabilities, or equity transactions on which the derivatives are being entered into.
(1)Excludes an interest rate swap related to our long
term energy contracts. As of September 30, 2012, the notional amount of this derivative was US$185 million, with a positive fair market
value of approximately US$52 million.
(2)Excludes two exchange rate derivatives, as of September 30, 2012,
the notional amount of both derivatives were US$100, with a positive fair market value of approximately US$1 million.
(3)Includes a notional amount of US$360 million in connection with
a guarantee by CEMEX of a financial transaction entered into by its employees’ pension fund trust. As of September 30, 2012, the
fair value of this financial guarantee represented a liability of US$38 million, which is net of a collateral deposit of US$126
million.
(4)
Net of a cash collateral deposited under open positions. Cash collateral was US$140 million as of September 30, 2012.
(5)Includes, as required by IFRS, changes in fair value of
conversion call options embedded in CEMEX’s convertible notes, representing as of September 30, 2012 and 2011 US$232 million and US$26
million, respectively.

CEMEX
announces pricing of U.S.$1.5 billion in senior secured notes
On October 4, 2012, CEMEX announced the
pricing of U.S.$1.5 billion
aggregate principal amount of senior secured notes (the “Notes”)
denominated in U.S. dollars. The Notes issued by CEMEX Finance LLC
bear interest at an annual rate of 9.375% and mature in 2022. The Notes
were issued at par and will be callable commencing on their 5th
anniversary. The closing of the offering occurred on October 12, 2012.
CEMEX intends to use the net proceeds from the offering to prepay
principal outstanding under CEMEX’s Facilities Agreement, dated
September 17, 2012, thereby allowing CEMEX to satisfy the March 31,
2013 U.S.$1.0 billion prepayment milestone and the February 14, 2014
U.S.$500 million amortization payment thereunder. These payments will
reduce the interest rate on the Facilities Agreement debt by 25 basis
points. The Notes share in the collateral pledged for the benefit of the
lenders under the Facilities Agreement and other secured obligations
having the benefit of such collateral, and are guaranteed by CEMEX,
CEMEX México, S.A. de C.V., CEMEX España, S.A., CEMEX Corp., CEMEX
Concretos, S.A. de C.V., Empresas Tolteca de México, S.A. de C.V., New

Egyptian Investments B.V.
CEMEX introduces Fortium ICF
On
September 25, 2012, CEMEX and CEMEX USA, announced the launch
in the United States of Fortium ICF, a new
construction material
specifically engineered to reduce the time and material needed to build
vertical concrete wall systems, such as Insulated Concrete Form (ICF)
building envelopes, while providing substantial savings in long term
maintenance and energy costs. Fortium ICF employs cutting edge
advancements in mineralogy and nanotechnology to improve the
performance of concrete at a microscopic level, and eliminates fully up to
75% of the steel reinforcement typically required for vertical concrete
construction. The result is a concrete structure that is built 50% faster
with turn key savings of over 32% compared to traditional ICF
construction. As CEMEX’s most recent addition to its growing portfolio of
products and initiatives that significantly reduce environmental impacts,
Fortium ICF is a product that delivers energy and CO2 savings. Each home
built with Fortium ICF reduces building emissions by a total of 170 metric
tons of CO2 over the course of 30 years.
CEMEX to increase cement production capacity in The Philippines
On September 17, 2012, CEMEX announced that it is planning to expand
the cement production capacity of its APO plant in the Philippines by 1.5
million metric tons per year. Through an investment of approximately
US$65 million, the company will increase production and strengthen its
distribution network to better serve high demand areas throughout the
country. The increase is expected to be operational by the first quarter of
2014. With this new investment, CEMEX will keep pace with the
Philippines market’s rapid growth. The country registered a gross
domestic product growth of 6.1% in the first half of 2012, according to
the National Statistical Coordination Board. The Metropolitan Manila
Development Authority has begun multiple infrastructure projects as the
country recovers from damage caused by extreme weather conditions.
CEMEX announces successful completion of refinancing
On September 17, 2012, CEMEX announced that it has successfully
completed the previously announced refinancing of its Financing
Agreement, dated as of August 14, 2009, as amended. Pursuant to the
refinancing, participating creditors representing approximately 92.7% of
the aggregate principal amount outstanding under the existing Financing
Agreement agreed to extinguish their existing loans and private
placement notes and to receive in place thereof:
approximately U.S.$6.155 billion in aggregate principal amount of
new loans and new U.S. Dollar private placement notes issued
pursuant to a New Facilities Agreement and a New Note Purchase
Agreement, both dated as of September 17, 2012; and
U.S.$500 million of new 9.5% senior secured notes due 2018,
issued pursuant to an indenture dated as of September 17, 2012,
which notes were delivered by the exchange agent to recipients.
As a result of the refinancing, the New Facilities Agreement, with a final
maturity of February 14, 2017, the principal terms of which were
previously announced in CEMEX’s press release dated June 29, 2012,
became effective on September 17, 2012. Also, approximately U.S.$525
million aggregate principal amount of loans and U.S. Dollar private
placement notes remain outstanding under the original Financing
Agreement, as amended and restated pursuant to the terms of the
exchange offer, and the Note Purchase Agreement, each with a final
maturity of February 14, 2014.

implementation of any of such alternatives (which include the potential
sales of: (i) a minority stake in operations in select countries; (ii) selected

assets) remains at the discretion of CEMEX.

workability retention of at least 90 minutes and easy to pump. These
qualities are made possible due to tailor designed proprietary admixture
technologies. Insularis was developed by the CEMEX Research Group AG
in Switzerland in collaboration with CEMEX France, who played a
fundamental role in the industrialization of this construction system.
Insularis is already being offered in Mexico and France, and the
industrialization of this technology is underway in a number of CEMEX
countries.

Notes to the
reconciliations from MFRS to IFRS
a) Derecognition of financial assets and liabilities
CEMEX has securitization programs in several countries with various
financial institutions under which, in accordance with MFRS and
considering that CEMEX surrenders control associated with the trade
receivables sold and that there is no guarantee or obligation to
reacquire the assets, the accounts receivable were removed from the
balance sheet at the moment of the sale, except for the unfunded
amounts that were reclassified to other short term accounts
receivable. IAS 39 under IFRS does not permit many securitizations to
qualify for derecognition due to some ongoing involvement that
causes entities to retain some of the risks and rewards related to the
transferred assets. Hence, under IFRS, except for non recourse
factoring transactions, CEMEX´s securitization programs of trade
accounts receivable under IFRS did not qualify for derecognition, and
the funded amount is recognized against a corresponding liability. As
of September 30, 2011 there was a net increase in short term assets of
approximately US$693 million.
b) Fair value of derivative financial instruments
IAS 39 under IFRS requires that the fair value of derivative financial
instruments should reflect the credit risk of the counterparties, in
comparison with MFRS that does not provide any related guidance. As
of September 30, 2011, the effect of including the credit risk to
CEMEX´s derivative financial instruments represented a net increase of
US$14 million in the net liability under IFRS. The corresponding effect
for the nine month and the three month periods ended September 30,
2011 represented an approximately loss of US$22 million and a gain of
US$7million, respectively.
Under IFRS, due to the functional currency of the issuer, the
conversion options embedded in CEMEX’s convertible notes are
recognized at fair value through the statements of operations. Under
MFRS, these options represented the equity components of such notes
and were not subsequently valued after initial recognition. For the
nine month and the three month periods ended September 30, 2011,
changes in fair value under IFRS of the aforementioned options
resulted in gains of approximately US$417 million and US$268 million,
respectively.

OTHER
INFORMATION
c) Others
As of September 30, 2011, in order to comply with IFRS presentation
requirements that differ from MFRS, there are certain reclassifications
between line items in the balance sheet, the most significant are as
follows: a) Approximately US$221 million of extraction rights and rights
for using rented quarries were reclassified from fixed assets under MFRS
to intangible assets under IFRS; and b) Approximately US$85 million of
deferred financing costs under MFRS were reclassified to debt under
IFRS.
d) Storage costs
According to IAS 2 under IFRS, storage costs that are incurred during the
production process should be excluded from the cost of inventories and
are required to be expensed as incurred. Under MFRS, storage costs were
recognized within inventories. As of September 30, 2011, this adjustment
represented a reduction in inventory under IFRS of approximately US$1
million. The corresponding effects during the nine month and the threemonth
periods ended September 30, 2011 represented immaterial
decreases in cost of sales against inventories.
e) Property, machinery and equipment
As of
September 30, 2011, resulting from the valuation of mineral
reserves, certain buildings and major
machinery and equipment located
in several countries at fair value as deemed cost upon transition to IFRS,
this line item decreased approximately US$44 million under IFRS as
compared to the carrying amount that such assets had under MFRS.
Under MFRS, in order to restate certain components of the financial
statements by inflation, several CEMEX’s operations were considered as
operating in highly inflationary environments considering that the
accumulated inflation rate over the last three years exceeded 26%. Upon
transition to IFRS as of January 1, 2010 and as of September 30, 2011, the
threshold to consider whether an economy is hyperinflationary
presented when the accumulated inflation rate over the last three years
is approaching, or exceeds 100% was not reached in any country in which
CEMEX operates. Consequently, as of September 30, 2011, the
elimination under IFRS of inflation restatement effects of property,
machinery and equipment and intangible assets recognized under MFRS
resulted in a net decrease in this line item for approximately US$559
million.
For the nine month and the three month periods ended September 30,
2011, the different depreciable amounts of property, machinery and
equipment under IFRS resulting from the reconciling adjustments
described above, resulted in increases in the depreciation expense under
IFRS for approximately US$57 million and US$20 million, respectively, as
compared to the amounts recognized under MFRS.
f)
Intangible assets
Resulting from the identification and separation as intangible assets upon
transition to IFRS of certain extraction permits in the cement and ready
mix sectors that were recognized within goodwill under MFRS, for the
nine month and the three month periods ended September 30, 2011, the
amortization expense associated with extraction permits under IFRS
decreased by approximately US$16 million and US$4 million,
respectively, as compared to the amounts recognized under MFRS.
g) Deferred financing costs
Upon transition to IFRS, deferred financing costs under MFRS associated
with CEMEX’s Financing Agreement for approximately US$514 million did
not meet all the requirements for capitalization and deferral under IAS 39
and were immediately recognized upon transition against retained
earnings, decreasing CEMEX’s deferred charges under IFRS. In connection
with this adjustment, for the nine month and the three month periods
ended September 30, 2011, the amortization of deferred financing costs
under IFRS recognized in the statements of operations decreased for
approximately US$125 million and US$40 million, respectively, as
compared to the amounts recognized under MFRS.
h)
Amortized cost of debt under the Financing Agreement
As of September 30, 2011, resulting from differences
in the amortized
cost of a portion of the debt included in CEMEX’s Financing Agreement
upon transition to IFRS, the balance of debt under IFRS decreased for
approximately US$6 million. For the nine month and the three month
periods ended September 30, 2011, the accretion expense of this debt
(interest expense) associated with changes in its amortized cost was
approximately US$2 million and US$0.4 million, respectively.
i) Pensions and postretirement benefits
Upon transition to IFRS, CEMEX elected to reset to zero all cumulative net
actuarial losses pending for amortization under MFRS against retained
earnings. As of September 30, 2011, in connection with this adjustment,
the employee benefits’ liability increased for approximately US$411
million as compared to the amount recognized under MFRS.
Under IFRS, termination benefits are expensed as incurred, whereas
under MFRS, such termination benefits were accrued based on actuarial
calculations of the estimated obligation. Upon transition to IFRS, the
provision under MFRS was cancelled against retained earnings. As a
result of this adjustment, as of September 30, 2011, the employee
benefits liability under IFRS decreased for approximately US$34 million.
j) Asset retirement obligations (decommissioning costs)
Upon transition to IFRS, there were certain differences between CEMEX’s
liabilities for asset retirement obligations under MFRS and those
determined under IFRS, which resulted in an increase in the liability
under IFRS against the related assets. As of September 30, 2011 as a
result of this adjustment, the liabilities for asset retirement obligations
under IFRS increased by approximately US$36 million.
k) Deferred income taxes
The different amounts of
assets and liabilities under IFRS generate
changes in the deferred tax assets and liabilities under IFRS as
compared
to those previously recognized under MFRS. As of September 30, 2011,
the net deferred tax asset under IFRS (deferred tax assets less deferred
tax liabilities) increased for approximately US$169 million, as compared
to the net deferred tax asset previously recorded under MFRS.
l) Uncertain tax positions
Under MFRS, the income tax effects from an uncertain tax position were
recognized following a cumulative probability model; meanwhile, under
IFRS, the tax effects of a position are measured using either an expected
value approach or a single best estimate of the most likely outcome only
if it is “more likely than not” to be sustained based on its technical merits
as of the reporting date. In making this assessment, CEMEX has assumed
that the tax authorities will examine each position and have full
knowledge of all relevant information. Each position has been considered
on its own, regardless of its relation to any other broader tax settlement.
The more likely than not threshold represents a positive assertion by
management that CEMEX is entitled to the economic benefits of a tax
position. If a tax position is not considered more likely than not to be
sustained, no benefits of the position are to be recognized. As of
September 30, 2011, resulting from the difference in the measurement
and recognition of the effects related to uncertain tax positions between
MFRS and IFRS, the provision for uncertain tax positions recorded under
IFRS increased for approximately US$522 million as compared to the
amounts recorded under MFRS. For the nine month and the three month
periods ended September 30, 2011, the income tax effects from the
uncertain tax positions under IFRS resulted in increase in the income tax
expense for approximately US$128 million and US$55 million
respectively, as compared to the amounts recorded under MFRS.

m) Ready Mix Consolidation
Considering certain potential voting rights, under IFRS, the acquisition
date of Ready Mix USA, LLC was March 31, 2011, whereas under MFRS,
CEMEX acquired Ready Mix USA, LLC on August 1, 2011 date in which
CEMEX assumed effective control. As a result of this difference, CEMEX’s
statement of operations under IFRS for the nine month and three month
period ended September 30, 2011,include results of operations of Ready
Mix USA, LLC for the same period.
Mexican Tax Reform 2010
In November 2009, the
Mexican Congress approved amendments to the
income tax law that became effective on January 1, 2010. The
new law
included changes to the tax consolidation regime that require CEMEX to,
among other things, determine income taxes as if the tax consolidation
provisions in Mexico did not exist from 1999 onward. These changes also
required the payment of taxes on dividends between entities of the
consolidated tax group (specifically, dividends paid from profits that were
not taxed in the past), certain special items in the tax consolidation, as
well as tax loss carryforwards generated by entities within the
consolidated tax group that should have been recovered by such
individual entities over the succeeding 10 years. These amendments
increased the statutory income tax rate from 28% to 30% for the years
2010 to 2012, 29% for 2013, and decreased it to 28% for 2014 and future
years. Pursuant to these amendments, the parent company was required
to pay in 2010 (at the 30% tax rate) 25% of the tax resulting from
eliminating the tax consolidation effects from 1999 to 2004, and to pay
an additional 25% in 2011. The remaining 50% is required to be paid as
follows: 20% in 2012*, 15% in 2013, and 15% in 2014. With respect to the
consolidation effects originated after 2004, these should be considered
during the sixth fiscal year following their origination and are be payable
over the succeeding five years in the same proportions (25%, 25%, 20%,
15%, and 15%), and, in relation to this, the consolidation effect for 2005
has already been notified to CEMEX and considered. Applicable taxes
payable as a result of the changes to the tax consolidation regime will be
increased by inflation, as required by the Mexican income tax law. As of
December 31, 2009, based on Interpretation 18, the parent company
recognized the nominal value of estimated taxes payable in connection
with these amendments of approximately US$799 million. This amount
was recognized by the parent company as a tax payable on its balance
sheet against “Other non current assets” for approximately US$628
million, in connection with the net liability recognized before the new tax
law and that the parent company expects to realize in connection with
the payment of this tax liability; and approximately US$171 million
against “Retained earnings” for the portion, according to the new law,
related to: a) the difference between the sum of the equity of the
controlled entities for tax purposes and the equity for tax purposes of the
consolidated entity; b) dividends from the controlled entities for tax
purposes to CEMEX, S.A.B. de C.V.; and c) other transactions between the
companies included in the tax consolidation that represented the
transfer of resources within the group. In December 2010, pursuant to
additional rules, the tax authorities eliminated certain aspects of the law
related to the taxable amount for the difference between the sum of the
equity of the controlled entities for tax purposes and the equity for tax
purposes of the consolidated entity. As a result, the parent company
reduced its estimated tax payable by approximately US$235 million
against a credit to “Retained earnings.”
In 2011, changes in the parent company’s tax payable associated with
the tax consolidation in Mexico are as follows (approximate US$
Millions):
2011
Balance at the beginning of the period $727
Income tax received from subsidiaries $168
Restatement for the period $35
Payments during the period ($36)
Other ($5)
Balance at the end of the period $889
As of December 31, 2011, the balance of tax loss carryforwards that have
not been considered in the tax consolidation was approximately
US$1,038 million. As of December 31, 2011, the estimated payment
schedule of taxes payable resulting from these changes in the tax
consolidation regime in Mexico were as follows (approximate amounts in
millions of US dollars):
2012 $50*
2013 $50
2014 $143
2015 $151
2016 $127
2017 and thereafter $368
$889

Nationalization of CEMEX Venezuela
On August 18, 2008, the Government of Venezuela expropriated all
business, assets and shares of CEMEX Venezuela and took control of its
facilities. CEMEX controlled and operated CEMEX Venezuela until August
17, 2008. In October 2008, CEMEX submitted a request to the
International Centre for Settlement of Investment Disputes (“ICSID”),
seeking international arbitration claiming that the nationalization and
seizure of the facilities located in Venezuela and owned by CEMEX
Venezuela did not comply with the terms of the treaty for the protection
of investments signed by the Government of Venezuela and the
Netherlands and with international law, because CEMEX had not receive
any compensation and no public purpose was proven. On November 30,
2011, following negotiations with the Government of Venezuela and its
affiliate Corporación Socialista de Cemento, S.A., a settlement agreement
was reached between CEMEX and the Government of Venezuela that
closed on December 13, 2011. Under this settlement agreement, CEMEX
received compensation for the expropriation of CEMEX Venezuela and
administrative services provided after the expropriation in the form of: (i)
a cash payment of US$240 million; and (ii) notes issued by Petróleos de
Venezuela, S.A. (“PDVSA”), with nominal value and interest income to
maturity totaling approximately US$360 million. Additionally, as part of
the settlement, claims among all parties and their affiliates were released
and all intercompany payments due from or to CEMEX Venezuela to and
from CEMEX were cancelled, resulting in the cancellation for CEMEX of
accounts payable net of approximately US$154 million. Pursuant to this
settlement agreement, CEMEX and the government of Venezuela agreed
to withdraw the ICSID arbitration. As a result of this settlement, CEMEX
cancelled the book value of its net assets in Venezuela of approximately
US$503 million and recognized a settlement gain in the statement of
operations of approximately US$25 million, which includes the write off
of estimated currency translation effects accrued in equity.

DEFINITIONS OF TERMS AND DISCLOSURES
Methodology for translation, consolidation, and presentation of
results
Under IFRS, beginning January 1,
2008, CEMEX translates the financial
statements of foreign subsidiaries using exchange rates at the reporting
date for the balance sheet and the exchange rates at the end of each
month for the income statement. CEMEX reports its consolidated results
in Mexican pesos.
For the reader’s convenience, beginning June 30, 2008, US dollar
amounts for the consolidated entity are calculated by converting the
nominal Mexican peso amounts at the end of each quarter using the
average MXN/US$ exchange rate for each quarter. The exchange rates
used to convert results for the third quarter of 2012 and the third
quarter of 2011 are 13.14 and 12.65 Mexican pesos per US dollar,
respectively.
Per country/region figures are
presented in US dollars for the reader’s
convenience. Figures presented in US dollars for Mexico, as of
September 30, 2012, and September 30, 2011, can be converted into
their original local currency amount by multiplying the US dollar figure
by the corresponding average exchange rates for 2012 and 2011,
provided below.
